September 11, 201114 yr if your fan is regulated by cpu temperature (like most of the cpu cooling fans) then yes its normal ... P.L. TranAMD Ryzen 5800x; 32 GB Ram; EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3; Win10 64 Bit
September 11, 201114 yr You should be using RealTemp or CoreTemp to check your CPU temperatures anything else supplied by your motherboard manufacturer for example only tells you the temperature of the CPU as measured externally by the temperature diode. The two programs above tell you the temperature as measured internally, this internal temp is always way higher than the temp as shown by the external temp sensor. The recommended max temperatures you read about on forums like this are always quoting internal temps not external ones so you have to be very aware of this or you may fry your CPU. Cheers, Andy.
September 11, 201114 yr Thanks andy, PL above says that my standard factory pc will control itself and not ever fry? james {FACTORY STD SPEC}HP ELITE i7 [email protected] 64bit. 8gb RAM. 896 MBNvida GTX260.

September 11, 201114 yr my standard factory pc will control itself and not ever fry?It should not ... technically ... even if your fan dies and temp goes up near 100°C the cpu should clock down to prevent damage and usually does, but I wouldn't bet my whole money on itmurphy's law and so :) edit:I know its old but applies to newer intel ones too ...
